letra de shaving - chewing on tinfoil

Loading...

i’ve been dragging razor blades over my face for about ten years straight
from the week i turned thirteen
well, yesterday i turned twenty-three
dad used to joke that he could shave with a knife
i’ve never seen a cut on his face in all of my life
i hope my skin thickens into the kind of man i want to be

you’re numb?
yeah, sure, i’ve been numb
it’s when you have so many choices, you end up choosing none
and you’re bored, i think i know the sort
as long as you don’t end up there as your first resort

one time a drunk news presenter from rte
took the time out of her busy night to explain to me
that boredom is a pretty recent term and forty years ago
no one used the word

and there is so much more than this
some people survive by the skin of their wrist
and i had to let you know. (oh-woah, woah)

i saw what was basically a child propped up on stage
he proceeded to say nothing in the loudest way
i lock my jaw so tight
point my eyes at the ground
in a futile effort to repel the sound
as my mind starts to wander away, i
t calls back just to ask me was i ever this way?
the chords seem so familiar, although his speech is slurred
i notice we’ve the same shaving lines as he utters the words:

there is so much more than this
some people survive by the skin of their wrist
and i had to let you know (oh-woah, woah)

there is so much more than this
some people survive by the skin of their wrist
and i had to let you know (oh-woah, woah)

things won’t be the same again

at six a.m., eight years ago
i was lying in the middle of the old bawn road
singing “i don’t care if any cars come, i won’t rise before the sun.”

at six a.m., eight years ago
